PictureMate®is your easy-to-use, personal photo lab.

Just insert a digital camera memory card and you’re

ready to print brilliant, long-lasting photos. Because

PictureMate is light and portable, you can print

whenever and wherever you take pictures. Plus, your

PictureMate photos are archival; generations from now

your PictureMate prints will be as vibrant as they are

today.

A Quick Introduction to the Digital

Photography Process

With film cameras, the process was

simple; buy film, take pictures, leave

the film at the photo lab, and come

back later for your photos and

negatives. Since you had negatives,

you could take them back later if you

wanted reprints.

The digital process is simple too, and it gives you

complete control. Just follow the basic steps shown on

the right.

1. Review and Delete

After you finish taking your photos, review

them on your digital camera’s screen. Delete

the photos you don’t want to print or keep.

2. Print

Insert your camera’s memory card in

PictureMate, choose your photos, and

print. (See page 6.)

3. Save

To preserve your digital photo

files (just like film negatives),

save them to a CD or your

computer. (See page 26.) Then you can reprint them

any time.

4. Clear the Memory Card

After you save your photo files, delete them from your

memory card so you have room for more photos.

Welcome!

Special Features

Printing with your PictureMate becomes even easier

with these special features:

From the PictureMate Main Menu,

you can print all your photos by

pressing Print. Or you can select

just the ones you want. (See

page 12.)

You can crop photos right from

PictureMate—no computer required.

(See page 20.)

If your camera supports DPOF (Digital

Print Order Format), you can pre-select

which photos to print while the memory

card is still in your camera. Then, when

you insert the card into PictureMate, it

knows which photos you chose; just press

Print. (See page 15.)

If you have a PictBridge®- or USB DP (USB

Direct-PrintTM)-enabled camera, you can

connect the camera to PictureMate and control

printing right from your camera. (See page 31.)

If you have a Bluetooth®-enabled PDA, cell

phone, or computer, you can send photos

wirelessly to PictureMate for printing. You

just need the optional Epson®Bluetooth Photo Print

Adapter. (See page 32.)

Note: PictureMate also supports P.I.M. (PRINT Image

MatchingTM) and Exif Print image enhancement standards that

are built into many cameras. To see if your camera is P.I.M.-

enabled, check www.printimagematching.com.

Supported Photo Formats

Make sure your photos meet these requirements for

printing with your PictureMate:

●JPEG files or uncompressed TIFF files only

●Resolutions ranging from 120 ×120 to

4600 ×4600 pixels

PictureMate recognizes and prints the first 999 photos

on your memory card.

Where to Find Information

See your Start Here poster to unpack,

set up, and use your PictureMate.

Using PictureMate Without a

Computer (this book) explains how to

print photos directly from your

camera’s memory card. It also covers

how to print from other devices,

replace the PictureMate Photo

Cartridge, take care of PictureMate,

and troubleshoot problems.

To use PictureMate with your

Macintosh®or Windows®PC, see

Using PictureMate With a Computer.

It explains how to install the software

and connect to your computer.

The on-screen User’s Guide on the

CD provides comprehensive

information and instructions for

using PictureMate.

Where to Get Ink and Paper

See the inside back cover for

information on where to buy the

PictureMate Print Pack.

PictureMateR.book Page 4 Tuesday, May 17, 2005 10:17 AM

Before you can print, you need to load paper and

insert your memory card in PictureMate.

Load Paper

Follow these steps to load PictureMate Photo Paper:

Caution: Don’t load plain paper; this may damage PictureMate.

1Move the handle to the back and down. Then

open the paper support and output tray.

Note: Keep the handle all the way down when printing

to allow paper to feed through.

2Slide the top part of the paper support up gently

until it clicks into place.

3Place your paper against the right edge, with the

glossy side up.

Note: Make sure paper is glossy side up to prevent

smearing. You can load up to 20 sheets at a time.

4Slide the left edge guide against the paper. Make

sure it is snug, but not so tight that paper can’t

move.

Now you can do one of the following:

●Print a proof sheet of all the photos on your card

using the PictureMate Wizard (as described on the

right).

●Choose photos and layouts for printing from the

Main Menu (see page 11).

Removing Your Memory Card

When you are ready to remove a memory card, make

sure the card light is not flashing, then pull the card

straight out of the slot.

Caution: Do not remove a card while the card light or print

button light are flashing; you may lose photos on your card.

Print a Proof Sheet With the PictureMate

Wizard

The PictureMate Wizard offers a simple way to print

4 ×6-inch photos. First, print a proof sheet showing

thumbnail images for all the photos on your card. Then

choose the photos you want to print by selecting the

photo numbers from the proof sheet.

When you insert the memory card, you see the

PictureMate Wizard with this message:

Note: If you don’t see the PictureMate Wizard, remove and re-

insert your card. If it still does not appear, see page 42. If you

see DPOF at the top of the screen instead, see page 15.

Tip: If you have many photos on your card, you can print a proof

sheet of selected photos or a range of pictures. Press Cancel

twice, then choose your desired photos (see page 12) and

choose Proof Sheet as the Layout setting (see page 17).

PictureMateR.book Page 7 Tuesday, May 17, 2005 10:17 AM

Press Print to print your proof sheet.

Press Cancel instead if:

●You have already printed a proof sheet for the

photos currently on your card.

●You want to print all your photos and don’t need

to see a proof sheet.

●You are printing with PictBridge or USB DP

(page 31) and you have already used your camera

to choose photos to print.

Note: You should print a proof sheet if you’ve deleted photos or

taken new photos since the last time you printed one, as the

photo numbering may have changed.

Your proof sheet includes up to 20 photos per sheet, so it might

require several sheets of paper, depending on the number of

photos on your card.

Choose and Print Photos With the Wizard

After you print a proof sheet or cancel it, you see this

screen:

You can choose the Print All option to print all of the

photos on your card (without borders), or Print Some

to print one or several photos by selecting the photo

numbers that appear on your proof sheet.

PictureMateR.book Page 8 Tuesday, May 17, 2005 10:17 AM

Press Print to start printing all your photos as

borderless, 4 ×6-inch prints.

Note: If your card has more than 20 photos, you will need to

reload paper while printing. Load a maximum of 20 sheets at a

time. When you see the message “Try loading paper again,”

load more paper and press OK to continue printing. If you need

to cancel printing, press Cancel.

When printing is complete, you see the Main Menu

(described on page 11).

Tip: To start the PictureMate Wizard again, remove and

re-insert your card.

3Press or to choose the number of copies to

print for that photo (up to 10), then press OK.

Tip: To print more than 10 copies of a photo, you can

print using the Main Menu (see page 13).
